Pete Alonso had homered 106 times over his three-plus major league seasons, but never with the bases loaded. That changed Saturday night.
WASHINGTON — Pete Alonso had homered 106 times over his three-plus major league seasons, but never with the bases loaded.
Alonso’s fifth-inning clout was enough support for Chris Bassitt, who dazzled in his Mets debut with six shutout innings in which he allowed three hits and struck out eight with one walk. Bassitt became the second Mets starting pitcher in the series to provide the team with a scoreless outing: Trevor Megill fired five shutout innings in Thursday’s opener.
Pete Alonso blasts his first career grand slam in the fifth inning of the Mets’ 5-0 win over the Nationals.Last season Alonso was among the few Mets hitters who played to his potential. It was a season in which he blasted 37 homers to help carry a lineup that underperformed on several levels.
